re: Mike Rice Fired

Those people are stupid and just out for blood. The AD had already disciplined him before ESPN decided to run with a 2 month old college basketball story at a time when the most eyeballs would be on college basketball.

that happens all the time by many different news organizations... the fake 'outrage' at ESPN is ridiculous. If you want to toss out blame, go after the AD for not doing the right thing when this whole episode first went down.

He didnt cover up anything. Rice was suspended and fined.

Oh by the way, the former employee that brought all this to espn tried blackmailing the university for a million dollars.
